For many home buyers searching in Redondo Beach and Torrance, finding a single family home in their price range is often not possible. An alternative to these more expensive areas is a small community locally known as El Camino Village, located near the El Camino City College. The community name is somewhat made up as it actually consists of 2 different cities, Lawndale and Gardena, but has helped create a nice community feel not shared with some other areas of the same cities. El Camino Village is a bordered by Prairie to the west, Marine to the north, Manhattan Beach Blvd to the south and Crenshaw to the east.

What makes the area fairly unique is that zoning only allows for single family homes and with elementary schools located within walking distance, the area has a very nice look and feel. The Lawndale and Gardena neighborhoods do not actually connect and are divided by an aquaduct with the Lawndale side having a bit more of a uniform feel and home values being slightly higher.

Home prices have risen rapidly in 2014 with the smaller 3 bed/1 bath homes starting in the low to mid $400’s and larger or upgraded homes quickly reaching into the mid $500’s.

Current El Camino Village and Bodger Park Homes for Sale

Sorry, but we couldn't find any results in the MLS that match
the specified search criteria.

The area of Gardena and Lawndale known as El Camino Village has long been a fantastic option for buyers, especially first time home buyers, feeling priced out of many of the family friendly neighborhoods of Redondo Beach and Torrance. The good news is that although prices are going up, they’re still well below other similar areas….the bad news is that there just are no homes available. At the moment there is one home available with 12 pending home sales. On first look that is an absolutely stunning ratio but it is a bit misleading. Of the 12 homes 11 are short sales and the other is a flip meaning some of these homes have shown pending status for a very long time. What looks to be an ultra hot market isn’t quite as active as it appears with an average days on market of 144. Bottom line in this great area is that it is a great opportunity with the short sale opportunities, but with almost no active inventory and future home for sale likely won’t last long. See below for the current El Camino Village homes for sale.
